No, it is vastly inferior. Gold equipment can hold a higher enchantment than diamond, and this really is its only advantage. Gold equipment, with only a few exceptions, mine slower and do less damage than diamond equivalents, with the added disadvantage that they wear out in a fraction of the time too.
It is also better to use iron tools than gold usually. Iron lasts longer than gold. If you're going to use gold, it is best to use it for the powered rails.
Stone and coal=Wood/Gold or better Iron=Stone or better Redstone, Lapis Lazuli, Gold, Diamond, Emerald=Iron or better Obsidian=Diamond only
If you dont have a diamond/gold pickaxe you may still get diamond/gold by using iron pickaxe
Yes, it can destroy the block, but the diamond block will disappear and you will not get any diamonds. You need and Iron Pickaxe or better (Gold and Diamond) to mine Diamond, and receive the diamonds.
To get diamond, you need a pickaxe of iron, gold or diamond.
iron diamond gold and leather
Mine for it silly!!
They are just like any other except can mine better than Wooden, Stone and Iron, but not as good as Diamond.
You can use an iron, gold, or pre-existing diamond pickaxe to mine diamond ore or diamond blocks
Coal, Iron, Gold, Diamond, and Redstone.
You can mine redstone with an Iron, Gold or Diamond pickaxe.
Iron pickaxe,gold or diamond
Bedrock cannot be broken. It is there to be a marker that you should not mine further on other block types. Dig sideways instead. Hope this helped
